It is important to start thinking about the future, even while
you're still in school. There are a lot of things to figure out. What
kind of a job would you like? What sort of education? On
UddannelsesGuiden.dk , you will find some material that may help you
gain some perspective on what you want to do with your life, how you
can prepare for it, and if there are any specific steps that you
yourself need to take in order to get there.
Maybe you feel that having to decide on your future is an enormous
responsibility – well, it is! That's why there are people around to
help you shoulder that responsibility, and on UddannelsesGuiden.dk,
you can seek out information and work with different scenarios.
Youth Education
Counselling (UU – Ungdommens Uddannelsesvejledning)
One of the people who may help
you with your decision is the youth education counsellor
(UU-vejlederen). It is her/his job to help you figure out what you
want to do, and how to go about it, once you quit school.
The youth education counsellors
provide individual advice and counselling to:
-
Students in grades 6
through 9 of elementary school
-
Students in 10th
grade of elementary school
-
Other youths in the
municipality below the age of 19, who have inadequate access to
other forms of counselling regarding education or employment
-
Youths living within the
municipality and aged 19 through 25, provided they themselves
actively seek out the counselling.
A local branch of the Youth
Education Counselling (Ungdommens Uddannelsesvejledning) is affliated
with every municipal authority in Denmark.
Find your local branch in the
list at UddannelsesGuiden.dk
(Danish). The list is kept up to date on a regular basis.
